CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0131311, filed Oct. 4, 2021, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function and, more particularly, to a cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function, which enables to separately accommodate powder or liquid first and second cosmetic contents in a cap and container, respectively, and allows the first and second cosmetic contents to mix at the time desired by a consumer or user (before using the cosmetics) to use.

Description of the Related Art

In general, there are cosmetics that are manufactured and used as single-content products, and cosmetics that are manufactured as multi-content products containing two different contents and supplied to consumers in a state of being stored separately from each other, and then mixed and used at a time desired by the consumer.

In other words, if different types of cosmetic contents are mixed in advance and distributed, ingredients of the mixed cosmetic contents may be degraded in the distribution process due to internal chemical reactions, or the efficacy may be significantly reduced.

There are cases where, after storing two different types of cosmetic contents separately in two respective containers, a user transfers the content stored in one container to another container and mixes the two contents together, but this has a problem in that it is inconvenient.

Accordingly, a cosmetic mixing container having a structure in which two types of cosmetic contents may be mixed with the help of a user's hand after being stored together in a separated state in one container has been devised and used in the related art to solve the above-mentioned problem of inconvenience.

However, as described above, even in the method where different types of cosmetic contents are stored separately in the distribution process and mixed just before use, the user has to take an additional action to mix the different types of cosmetic contents so that the contents are mixed together, which is troublesome.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1 , the first cosmetic content is stored in a dropper 10. More specifically, the first cosmetic content is stored in a pumping part 4 made of an elastic material such as silicone rubber or elastomer and in a dip tube 6 coupled to the pumping part 4, and the second cosmetic content is stored in a container 12.

At the lower discharge port of the dip tube 6, a sealing cap 8 is coupled as shown in FIG. 1A in a pressed fit manner, so that a cosmetic product is stored or distributed in a state in which the mixing of the first cosmetic content and the second cosmetic content is prevented.

When the consumer wants to use the product, the dropper 10 may be separated from the cosmetic container and lifted as shown in FIG. 1B, and as the sealing cap 8 coupled to the discharge port of the dip tube 6 comes into contact with a brush 2, the sealing cap 8 is separated from the dip tube 6, and the first cosmetic content stored in the pumping part 4 and the dip tube 6 flows into the container 12 so that the first cosmetic content and the second cosmetic content are mixed.

However, in the above-described cosmetic container with a different content mixing function, depending on the coupling strength with which the sealing cap 8 is press-fitted to the discharge port, the sealing cap 8 may not be separated even when in contact with the brush 2, which causes a problem and inconvenience in that the brush 2 needs to be lifted from the container to be separated.

Moreover, since the connection structure of the dip tube 6 and the pumping part 4 is a concave-convex coupling, when the pumping part 4 is pressurized while the sealing cap 8 is not separated, the first cosmetic content flows out to the concave-convex coupling portion, making the container 12 dirty, and there are other problems such as causing inconvenience to the user.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the present disclosure has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the related art, and the present disclosure is intended to provide a cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function, which prevents unintentional mixing of different cosmetic contents, allows mixing of different cosmetic contents with a simple action without removing the cap of the cosmetic container from the container when mixing different cosmetic contents, and enables easy pumping of the cosmetic mixture.

In order to achieve the above objective, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function, the cosmetic container cap including: a body part 102 in which a female fastening portion 102 b is formed below an upper open-type chamber 102 a where an accommodation space is formed to accommodate a first cosmetic content A of liquid or powder so as to be fastened to a male fastening portion 204 formed to be exposed in a container 202, and having a through opening 102 c formed to extend a predetermined length downward from the chamber 102 a; a pressing part 104 that is in close contact with an inner diameter surface of the chamber 102 a to secure a space inside the chamber 102 a while being inserted downward to a predetermined height from a bottom surface of the chamber 102 a of the body part 102, and that, when descending, discharges the first cosmetic content A inside the chamber 102 a under pressure to the opening 102 c to be mixed with a second cosmetic content B inside the container 202; and a sealing member 120 that is insert-penetrated upward from a lower portion of the opening 102 c, whose upper end is close to or in close contact with the pressing part 104, and whose lower portion is press-fitted to an inner diameter of the opening 102 c to close the opening 102 c.

In addition, it is preferable that a plurality of inlet grooves 102 d are formed along a circumferential direction at an upper outer periphery of the inner diameter of the opening 102 c where the opening 102 c and the chamber 102 a are connected.

As described above, the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function of the present disclosure has an effect that when mixing the second cosmetic content stored in the container and the first cosmetic content of the cap coupled to the container, the first cosmetic content and the second cosmetic content can be mixed without removing the cap from the container. In addition, the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function of the present disclosure has the effect of maintaining the aesthetics of the appearance since the sealing member that prevents the first cosmetic content of the body part from leaking is concealed without staying inside the container even when the first cosmetic content and the second cosmetic content are mixed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The configuration of a cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying FIGS. 2 to 8 as follows.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function of the present disclosure includes: a body part 102 fastened to an opening of a container 202 so as to be coupled and detached; a pressing part 104 coupled to the body part 102; and a sealing member 120 for sealing the opening 102 c of the body part 102.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the body part 102 is provided with an upper open-type chamber 102 a having an accommodation space to accommodate the first cosmetic content A formed at the upper portion thereof, and a female fastening portion 102 b formed at the lower portion thereof to be fastened to a male fastening portion 204 formed to be exposed in the opening of the container 202.

In addition, the through opening 102 c is formed with a predetermined length downward from the chamber 102 a of the body part 102, so that the chamber 102 a and the opening 102 c communicate with each other.

Meanwhile, the pressing part 104 is inserted downward into the chamber 102 a of the body part 102. The pressing part 104 is formed of a stretchable material and is in close contact with the inner diameter surface of the chamber 102 a into which the pressing part 104 is inserted, thereby preventing leakage of the first cosmetic content A accommodated in the chamber 102 a. In addition, when the pressing part 104 descends, by compressing the chamber 102 a, the first cosmetic content A inside the chamber 102 a is discharged into the container through the opening 102 c.

It is preferable that the outer diameter surface of the pressing part 104 has a concave and convex round structure as shown in FIG. 2 , thereby maximizing the adhesion and sealing force, and allowing smooth descent when the pressing part 104 descends.

In addition, although the pressing part 104 has a ‘ shaped structure in the accompanying drawings, the present disclosure is not limited to this shape, and may have a 0’ shaped structure, or a shaped structure that is not hollow and has a predetermined thickness.

Furthermore, the pressing part may be directly pressed down by a user or consumer to discharge the first cosmetic content A of the chamber 102 a into the container 202. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2 , a fitting groove 102 e is formed on the upper inner diameter of the body part 102, and the outer diameter surface of a plate-shaped finish plate 108 is coupled to the fitting groove 102 e in a press-fit manner, thereby making the appearance sleek, and when the finish plate 108 is pressed, the finish plate 108 may lower the pressing part 104.

The present disclosure is that the pressing part 104 directly discharges the first cosmetic content A inside the chamber 102 a to the opening 102 c as described above, and therefore, is not limited to an additional configuration for operating the pressing part 104, and this additional configuration may be variously adopted and changed.

Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, the sealing member 120 is provided for keeping the opening 102 c closed and then opening the opening 102 c according to a user's intention so that the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are mixed. This is to prevent the first cosmetic content A from leaking through the opening 102 c and then mixing with the second cosmetic content B filled in the container 202 when there is no user's intention after filling the chamber 102 a of the body part 102 with the first cosmetic content A.

The sealing member 120 is loosely inserted upward from a lower portion of the opening 102 c, and the lower portion of the sealing member 120 is formed with a relatively large outer diameter to close the opening 102 c while being press-fitted into the opening 102 c.

In addition, it is preferable that a plurality of inlet grooves 102 d are formed along the circumferential direction at the upper outer periphery of the inner diameter of the opening 102 c where the opening 102 c and the chamber 102 a are connected to facilitate the discharge of the first cosmetic content A inside the chamber 102 a to the container 202.

At this time, the first cosmetic content A may be in the form of liquid or powder, and the second cosmetic content B may also be in the form of liquid or powder, and thus, in the present disclosure, the types of the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are not limited and may be selected and changed in various ways.

The function of the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure configured as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying FIGS. 3A to 8 .

FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C are views showing a process of filling the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure with the first cosmetic content A or accommodating the first cosmetic content A in the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3A, when filling the chamber 102 a of the body part 102 with the first cosmetic content A, the first cosmetic content A is filled into the chamber 102 a through the opening 102 c with the chamber 102 a facing downward and the opening 102 c facing upward.

At this time, the first cosmetic content A filled in the chamber 102 a is prevented from leaking to the outside since the pressing part 104 maintains a state in close contact with the inner diameter of the chamber 102 a.

As described above, when the first cosmetic content A is filled in the chamber 102 a, the sealing member 120 is inserted downwardly into the end of the opening 102 c as shown in FIG. 3B.

At this time, the upper portion of the sealing member 120 is loosely inserted because the outer diameter thereof is formed to be relatively smaller than the inner diameter of the opening 102 c, and one end of the sealing member 120 is close to or in close contact with the pressing part 104 as shown in FIG. 3C, whereas the other end of the sealing member 120 is inserted into the opening 102 c in a press-fit manner as shown in FIG. 4C to seal the inner diameter of the opening 102 c.

Meanwhile, the container 202 is filled with the second cosmetic content B as shown in FIG. 4 .

As described above, after filling the chamber 102 a with the first cosmetic content A and sealing the opening 102 c using the sealing member 120, the female fastening portion 102 b of the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure is fastened, as shown in FIG. 5 , to the male fastening portion 204 of the opening of the container 202 filled with the second cosmetic content B as shown in FIG. 4 , so that the second cosmetic content B of the container 202 and the first cosmetic content A of the cap do not mix with each other during storage and distribution by the sealing force of the sealing member 120.

Meanwhile, FIGS. 5 and 6 show that the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are stored and distributed in a state of being separated by using the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure, and when used, the first cosmetic content A is discharged toward and mixed with the second cosmetic content B.

That is, FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are separated during storage and distribution, and as shown in FIG. 6B, if the pressing part 104 is lowered when in use, one end of the sealing member 120 close to or in close contact with the bottom surface of the pressing part 104 is lowered by the descending force of the pressing part 104.

Accordingly, the sealing member 120 sealing the opening 102 c is separated from the opening 102 c while descending, and as the pressing part 104 descends further along the outer diameter of the chamber 102 a, the opening 102 c is opened and the first cosmetic content A is discharged into the container 202.

As described above, when the sealing member 120 is separated from the opening 102 c and descends by the pressing part 104, the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are mixed to form a cosmetic mixture C, and then a consumer or user is able to use the cosmetic mixture C inside the container 202 after disassembling the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure fastened to the container 202.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 7 , the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure may allow the first cosmetic content A to be discharged into the opening 102 c by using the structure in which an outer cap 106 may be fastened to the outer diameter of the body part 102, and by rotating the outer cap 106, the pressing part 104 descends when the outer cap is lowered. The present disclosure does not limit the additional configuration of the technical mechanism for inducing the action of pressing the pressing part 104 as described above, but may be adopted and changed in various ways.

FIG. 8 is a view showing the use of the cosmetic mixture C with a dropper 206 after the first cosmetic content and the second cosmetic content are mixed by using the cosmetic container cap with a duo-mix function according to the present disclosure. The present disclosure is limited to making the cosmetic mixture C by mixing the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B when in use after the first cosmetic content A and the second cosmetic content B are stored and distributed separately, and is not limited to the method and configuration of using the cosmetic mixture C with the dropper 206 as shown in FIG. 8 .
